A) the fabled Ghost Genie of Graceland, said to occupy the King's old rhinestone jumpsuits and known to terrorize tourists with his swirly bouffant 'do and tiny T-Rex arms

B) the Michelin Man after an unfortunate smelting accident

C) cloud porn (if you don't tell your kids, who will?)

Hey, that's cheating - the ghost is made of plastic! Thank goodness for the airbrushing, tri-colored tree spikes, and two disapproving pumpkins (see below); or else this wouldn't be a Wreck at all.

Pumpkin #1: "Hey, what's with the ghost's purple nose?"Pumpkin #2: "I dunno - maybe he got a boo-boo. Get it? 'Boo-boo'? Ahahahha!"Pumpkin #1: "Dude. You are so annoying."Pumpkin #2: "Or maybe he inherited it from his transparents? Huh?"Pumpkin #1: "Forget I said anything. Really."Pumpkin #2: "Oh, wait, I know! He had too many spirits last night! Get it? 'Spirits'?"Pumpkin #1: "Somebody cut the cake already. I can't take it anymore."

This first one looks like my monkey cupcake cake, the decorator thought why waste cupcakes for the tail a bunch of frosting will do! except when you remove the cupcakes it looks like the ghost had a little accident. Classic :)

That first cake - all I saw was Groucho Marx, minus the cigar and glasses.

Psychologists should adapt the Rorsharch (sp?)ink blot tests to nebulous cake creations. What you see in the cake can tell loads about your personality. Do you see Groucho? The Michelin Man? Cloud Porn? The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man? How about it, psychology?

So, I was looking up cupcake recipes for my daughter and I came across this page. I thought you may find some humor in the pumpkin cupcakes she makes.http://cupcakerecipe.net/2007/10/punk-glow-in-dark-halloween-cupcake.htmlLove your site

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
